Abstract
The Subh time specified in the prayer schedule has been considered as early as 20 to 30 minutes, whereas prayer must be done on time. This study aims to verify the phenomenon of dawn shadiq (astronomical twilight) as a mark of dawn time. The research was carried out by observation method using Sky Quality Meter technology and the results will be analyzed with the approach of ushul fiqh science, astronomy, and mathematics. The approach to the science of ushul fiqh is to analyze the normative aspects, the approach of astronomy is to analyze the phenomenon of dawn, and the approach of mathematics to analyze the results of dawn observations with Sky Quality Meter. The results of the study showed that at dawn Shadiq can be observed factually at a depression angle of 15 ° to 18 ° below the equivalent horizon of 60 to 72 minutes before sunrise. The magnitude of the depression angle is different from the determination of the Ministry of Religion of the Republic of Indonesia and Islamic Organizations that is equal to 20 ° below the horizon equivalent to 80 minutes before sunrise. The implication of the findings of this study is the shift of dawn time, imsak time and the start time of fasting 8 to 20 minutes from the time specified in the prayer time schedule.
